Prayer Is More Than Words
Sean of the South recently completed a 500-mile pilgrimage across Spain. He suffered injuries and setbacks but gained something greater—he truly learned how to pray. He shared:
“I learned that you don’t have to say a word. You don’t have to speak. You don’t have to tell God what you need. He already knows. You don’t have to beg, either. You’re His kid. You don’t even have to speak.”
“Now this is the confidence we have before Him: whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for.” – 1 John 5:14-15
So often, our prayer time with God becomes a list of requests. But Scripture reminds us to be still and to let the Holy Spirit guide our hearts.
“Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
Maybe the first step in learning how to pray is to stop talking—and start listening.
Let Us Pray
Heavenly Father, help us to sit in stillness before You. Teach us to listen, not just speak. Let our prayer time reflect trust in Your will. Amen.
